Ginny & her Jacket

Here's Mom in her fun jacket! It fits all right but pokes her in the neck I think.

Ginny's Jacket




I few months ago I decided to make Mom a sweatshirt jacket. She is always complaining about being cold. I got this sweatshirt & 2 pairs of sweat pants to match (pink & purple) and proceded to chop up the sweatshirt to Beautify it.


I appliqued roses & leaves, and added a collar I purchases years ago for 10c at the Daisy Kingdom remnant room. It was fun, a little challenging and as usual - when the fun part is done (sewing on roses & collar) it went into a TBF pile - aka UFO pile, or P.I.G.S (project in grocery sack)


I thought I should finish it for her birthday. She was 88 on July 17. I am only a few days late. Here's the jacket. I'll get a shot of her wearing it on Thursday and add it here.















Here's the roses - fussy cut from some rose fabric + batik leaves. Fused & stitched.
